Biodiversity Loss talk @ Woodlands Secondary (Apr)

Mdm April Lee, a teacher from Woodlands Secondary, invited Earth Society to conduct a Biodiversity Loss Assembly talk for the school’s cohort on 22 Apr.

On 22 Apr, Earth Society team reached Woodlands Secondary at 7.20 am. We conducted a Biodiversity Loss talk for the Sec 1 to Sec 4 students from 7.45 am to 8.15 am.

We presented on Biodiversity Loss, Mass Extinction, Overfishing, Deforestation, Climate change and Factory farming. We featured WWF 2020 Living Planet Index report which shows that 68% of wildlife were lost from 1970s to 2016. We showed that there are 8 billion humans on the planet, but we kill 1,500 billion fishes and 80 billion land animals for food each year. We touched on issues such as Global Warming, reduce Fish consumption, reduce Factory farming, Meatless days and conservation of the world’s ocean and forest.

We also showed that if everyone on the planet consumes resources as Singaporeans do, we will need 3 planets to sustain our consumption habits. We need to reduce our consumption pattern to keep it within the limits of 1 planet.

Students and teachers listened attentively to the talk.
